Payton Rice gave up the fewest hits she has over her last six matches on Saturday. She was dynamite, striking out 11 batters over seven innings while giving up three earned runs off three hits. She has been consistent: she hasn't given up more than two walks in five consecutive appearances.
Coming up, Rice and East Carter will look to defend their home field on Monday against West Carter at 6:00 p.m. The Raiders got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Comets thanks in part to Rice: she didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out 12 over five innings pitched. Can she match (or beat) that stellar performance? Check MaxPreps after the action for a full breakdown of the game and more softball content.
